I've been playing Tau since the beginning of 7th (when i started playing 40k). I've been lurking in the forums for a while but decided to join and participate in the discussions. I've made a couple spreadsheets for Commander and Crisis loadouts. I think my math is correct but it would be good if someone would point out any mistakes.

I have gone with averages for # of shots and damage that have "D" values (D3 is averaged at 2, D6 at 4).You can change the # of shots and Damage in the tables to see the affects it has on average wounds.Keep in mind that these #s are Per Weapon and Per Target Model (I.E. you should set the fusion blaster to 2 damage to see the actual average wounds done to terminators, etc.)Fusion blaster are shown damaging 5++ saves for TEQ and Knight values.

I hope to clean these up a bit and add to them (maybe make them into one workbook for all tau entries).

Any input would be great, I would like to make this a useful resource for all Tau generals.
